Acts 2:42

Hebrews 10 “Hold Strong To Your Faith” Sept.13, 2015 – CD#1570

THE JEW COULD NOT PERSONALLY GO UP TO THE MERCY SEAT; he had to go through his representative, the high priest, and we have Jesus Christ as our “high priest over the house of God,” so we come to God through him. The Jew could not pass through the veil which hid from public view the glory of the Shekinah, and Jesus Christ’s humanity was a veil which somewhat concealed the glory of his Deity; but the flesh of Christ having been crucified, the veil has been torn, and now we may come right up to the throne of God without trembling; in fact, we may come even with holy boldness and familiarity, and speak to God without anxiety. Having such a privilege as this, do not neglect it! It was denied to prophets and kings in the Old Testament time; but now that it is bestowed upon us, let us avail ourselves of it, and constantly “let us draw near” unto God “with a true heart in full assurance of faith.” (Hebrews10) Spurgeon 1865
